At 9 AM this morning, Maynard gave you the world premiere of Linkin Park‘s new single, “Burn It Down”. If you missed it, you’ll hear it more throughout the day on HFS…or you can hear it now, right here.

The lyrics, written by the band as a whole, are as follows:

The cycle repeatedas explosions broke in the skyall that I neededwas the one thing I couldn’t find

And you were there at the turnWaiting to let me know

We’re building it upTo break it back downWe’re building this upTo burn it downWe can’t waitTo burn it to the ground

The colors conflictedas the flames climbed into the cloudsI wanted to fix this / butcouldn’t stop from tearing it down

And you were caught at the turncaught in the burning glowAnd I was there at the turnWaiting to let you know

You told me yes / You held me highAnd I believed when you told that lieI played that soldier / You played kingAnd struck me down when I kissed that ringYou lost that right / to hold that crownI built you up but you let me downso when you fall / I’ll take my turnand fan the flames as your blazes burn
